Distiller - Liquor Reviews for Negative User Reviews
✓ Good, butGreat idea, but the app freezes up. Completely locked up the ipad..Version: 1.0
✓ Website wrapped in an appSorry but it's not a very nice user experience to have carousels flashing past when you're trying to use it..Version: 1.04
✓ So promising but performance is a major issue...I really want this to be a favorite app - the look and feel of this app is very user friendly and I have found every whiskey I have searched for so far. And I purchased the pro because I really want this to be the one and only app to I use to manage my wish lists and track my inventory. But it is no where near a trusted app yet. First, I don’t mind paying for pro - the heck with the deadbeat millennial reviewers who think everything in life should be free. But I should get some real value from the pro. There just isn’t enough perks yet to pro membership other than adding quantities and it was buggy even signing up for it. It took 2 days for the pro sign up page to work for me. Really? You do want my money right? Second, performance is terrible. Apparently there is no local storage, cache or any kind of background sync. That means even for checking my lists or updating quantities I have to wait seconds with a blank page and spinner for the page to load or refresh. Please improve performance of this app ASAP! This app has promise and I will continue to use it for now but I certainly won’t renew my pro membership unless performance improves and they add a few more perks for pro membership..Version: 5.0.161
✓ No goodOne word - garbage. Three words- it doesn't work.Version: 1.05
✓ Need to create my own collectionsLooks promising, DB is much improved, but I need to be able to create my own collections for me to use this eg my shelf, open bottles, tasted etc..Version: 2.0.38
✓ Missing so many options and refusing to add moreGreat idea, and was looking forward to such opportunities but going to a distillery to do a tasting and found out that 90% of the gins weren’t available on the app with the app refusing to create new entry was a huge disappointment. Also having to add pictures of bottles, which you don’t have while doing taster, is just dumb. On top of that, this doesn’t even record unfavourable review (it’s the third time I’m sending my review and it doesn’t appear)..Version: 5.0.439
✓ Crashes a LOT latelyI really enjoy this app but lately ALL IT DOES is crash. It only seems to crash whenever I’m typing something in the search bar. It needs an updated or a bug squash so I can get back to regular activities. While I’m at this review, there’s a couple of suggestions I’d like to add. This app needs to be more like Untappd where you can see people’s pictures of there pours or bottles. It makes the experience more unique and personal. Just a suggestion..Version: 4.22.1888
✓ Better app before Pro addedThe old version of the app from early-mid 2020 was far superior and more user-friendly. They decided to do the pro thing to get rich and now they've purposefully broken the free version to require more clicks to get to where you want to go. Opening to the personal notes page of a spirit instead off the actual information page is done to try to force you to get pro so you can put your own notes. My notes are in my tastes. I don't need a separate notes section and I certainly don't want that to open when I can't even enter any notes without upgrading. This app is going down the drain with the pro version being pushed at every opportunity within the app. This used to be 5/5 for my friends and I but we're bailing for the Flaviar app now. See ya..Version: 5.0.29
✓ Crashes non stopCrashes continuously.Version: 3.06
✓ Promising, but huge letdownThis sounded like exactly what I was looking for, track my collection, yes! Get reviews and recommendations too, awesome. Then I installed it and gave it a try. Well, first I tried to give it a try. I really wanted to try out the collection feature, you have to sign up for an account to do that, fair enough. I tried to sign up, got an error that my account failed to create, please try again. I tried several times, always failing. Finally got home and tried through their website, it said my email address was already in use, quick reset password and I can finally log in. So then I started to try logging some of my whiskies in my collection. I have a lot of independent bottlings and single cask releases, I didn't start with those. I looked up a smaller distiller but for distillery releases, searching for Tomatin. I did find the Carribbean Rum cask release I owned, promising. Then I looked for one of the limited release Cu Bocan bottlings (Cu Bocan are always limited releases), 2 bottles came up. I quickly checked if I could add a bottle, nope. So I looked for some more mainsream bottles and started adding them. I noticed quickly that strength is listed in proof, not ABV %. Note that US proof and UK proof are not the same. So I decided to push things a bit more and looked for Glenlivet Nadurra, great I find the releases, except these are small batch releases and the batches vary. So I have 2 different versions of the oloroso release, and there's no way to record which I have. There's no way to tell which batch was reviewed by the site, or by other users. This makes any small batch releases useless as there is batch to batch variation (the entire point of small batch releases). There's simply no way to put in a batch number or cask reference. Looking into the FAQ on their site I found that users simply cannot add a missing bottle. The only way a bottle gets added is if they review it. I get they want to maintain the quality of the listings, and to eliminate duplicates. But, this is a US site, there's tons of whisky releases that are UK-only, or certainly harder to find in the US. If users can't add a bottle then there's no way to put everything you have in a large collection. If it's dependent on them reviewing then if you have bottles that are no longer available then they'll never be added as they won't be able to review them. I had really high hopes for this app and it's been a complete letdown..Version: 3.11
✓ New feature does not workNew feature does not work... the “+” does not appear when one touches the search bar!.Version: 4.22.2240
✓ Almost perfect but lacks a couple improvementsThis app lets you write your own reviews, read other people’s, and compile your own lists and share them with others. Lets you and your friends follow each other and see their reviews. It lets you sort your searches by price, ratings, global regions, etc. The problems I see are many of the spirits that come up in a search are from years ago and no longer available. In some instances that me be desirable but for most users they are really only wanting to look up stuff that is in current production. If they’re looking up Elijah Craig they probably want the current one not the 12 year. There needs to be a filter that isolates current production or at least only shows entries a few years old. Secondly, there are many new distilleries and their products are either not in there or they were entered by an app user. Distilleries should have the ability to enter their own products and photos, along with their own backstory and description of the product. They could also be prompted to include the source or state it was distilled in and the mashbill. Then later on Distiller could supplement the entry with a professionals rating and score..Version: 5.0.419
✓ Crashes after updateAfter update, iPad version will not open. Crashes after several seconds. iPhone version seems OK.Version: 3.01
✓ Pretty GoodI like this app Bit slow to load, but good info and suggestions.Version: 3.06
✓ Okay platform...good for noobs I guessI’m pretty sure the reviewers get their samples directly from the distillers or distributors. They rarely rank whiskies below an 80 and never say anything bad about them. I rarely ever get the feeling a review is truly independent. The rating system kinda dumb. If they set a ceiling (which they do at 100) they should make the floor (0) meaningful (which currently it isn’t as no booze gets even close). Also their price rankings is broken as five $s spans from ~$150 to tens of thousands). I do like their flavor profile graph though..Version: 4.22.3615
✓ Decent AppDistiller is a decent liquor/whiskey review app. It has improved significantly in the last couple of years and I have no reason to think it won’t continue to do so. My only negative opinion of the app is the “feed”. The feed is not the default view. Aside from that there’s just something about the format I don’t like. Maybe I’m just too much of a FB addict, that’s very possible. Whatever it is it has taken me some time to get used to the format and begin to appreciate it. It is a good source of information on spirits, with a large and fairly active community..Version: 4.22.2599
✓ Doesnt workLike the idea, but app doesn't work. Randomly closes on my iPhone 5c for no reason every time I go on it..Version: 3.10
✓ Broken in 14.2Won’t open in 14.2 just hangs and crashes. Please fix ... otherwise this is a fantastic app..Version: 4.22.3708
✓ Cant make accountApp looks great, my friend loves it. But every time I try to sign up with Facebook it crashes and every time i try to make an account by username is says "We weren't able to make your account." Ive reinstalled twice with same results..Version: 4.01
✓ Not loadingI've loaded onto a new iPad without success..Version: 3.01
✓ Freezes too oftenThis app would be great if it was actually working for more than one minute..Version: 1.0
✓ Great app - keeps crashingWhen trying to establish an account with my Facebook account, the app crashed. Three times. When I tried to create a stand-alone account, first time, I didn’t get a confirmation email. Had to create an account a second time, and it worked. Then after adding one bourbon to my list, adding a second one consistently crashed the app. App shows promise and I’d love to use it. But unfortunately, it’s not ready for prime time. Needs some bugs worked out..Version: 4.22.3125
✓ Almost ThereThis app is very very good. I am not a big spirit connoisseur however I love my bourbon. This app is able to keep track of what I like, don’t like, my collection, and what I want to try. The biggest issue is amount of drinks not on the site. I’ve even sent information to Distiller to add a bourbon drink and received a reply saying they will add. This was 12 weeks ago...still nothing listed. Once they update with all available drinks, it will be near perfect. Until then, I’ll keep looking for a better app or website..Version: 4.22.1365
✓ Overall Great, Room for Improvement ThoughI love this app overall. Suggestions for improvement: - Add an option to have a list or log of previous checkins so you don’t have to search the specific name to find it and see your checkin(s). - Make it less laggy. Takes a few seconds to be able to search every time I load the app. - Add more filters, for example regions for scotch or more specific price points based on your area. Whiskey very widely in previous (like other alcohol) and the price range filter is not very sensible as is. - Improve the “you may also like” lists to be more relevant. Often times they show completely different whiskey types than what I am even looking at. - Improve the social component to where you can see what people are buying near you and how they like it. That way you can feel a sense of community if you don’t have friends that use this app. - Be able to filter pro reviews by reviewer. As we all know taste is subjective, but it’s often difficult to sort by the pro ratings if they have only been reviewed by one “pro”/“expert.” Thus if you want to try something and see it has a low score, having multiple expert reviews (perhaps show the average expert score in the search window) and then have all the expert reviews viewable and collapsible once the whiskey or drink is pulled up..Version: 4.22.3331
✓ Great Content but Interface Query LagI love the spirit (no pun intended) of this app. Has really good content and a well crafted interface. One HUGE problem is the lag when searching and how it affects me when I am typing search criteria. Even does this on wi-fi. Maybe it is a bug but you gotta fix this to make it a quality app. If it had that I would give this 4 -5 stars..Version: 4.22.2823
✓ Great looking - when it actually worksLots of freezing up. Once that gets cleaned up, it looks like it could be a pretty nice app..Version: 1.0
✓ Slowwwwww. But nice layout.Hope they fix the response times. Obviously they didn't test this in real world settings. Not ready for prime time yet..Version: 1.0
✓ Terrible appThis app is just one of the million apps trying to cash in (or just fame in) on the current whisk(e)y revival. This app offers nothing new or inventive, has an incredibly poor selection of whiskeys to choose from and is plagued by bugs. On top of this the user profile options are so limited that it's pretty much asking for people to download and app and create an account simply to boost the ego of the single writer of reviews. Just stick to a blog! Additional complains go to this "company" for completely ignoring emails sent to them and instead using my email for their own mailing list to which I never subscribed. I no doubt believe that this app will be quickly lost amongst the million others that offer the same whiskey reviews (although the other ones have better selection) and be completely forgotten before the end of the year..Version: 1.0
✓ WHY NO VODKA?Initially, I liked this app, but as I was building my collection I realised that no vodkas are included. This is a huge failure. Are vodkas not distilled, that they don't belong in this app. Very disappointing. I'm deleting the app forthwith..Version: 3.09
✓ DeceptiveThis app has no business being 100MB and this slow..Version: 3.0
✓ Great app, but crashes constantlyGreat idea and nothing else exists like it, but it is very temperamental and is constantly crashing..Version: 4.22.3125
✓ Crashes on load upWas a good app until the update, now it just crashes..Version: 3.01
✓ Why release in UK?This app is fine for the U.S. Market, but absolutely useless for UK - too americanised with MM/DD/YY date format and trying to have a delivery address for whiskey within the hour - erm, no??! Make a UK specific app please, this isn't a good experience..Version: 1.08
✓ Used to be my favorite appThis was by far my favorite app, but recent changes have made it less user friendly. It used to open with big, attractive font for each whisky in your list. It was easy to scroll through to choose what you want, then just touch to get more info on that whisky. Now the list is less appealing, it takes a long time to load, it’s very slow to scroll through (and I have an iPhone 12 Pro), and you can’t set a default way to list (eg by rank). Worst of all you can’t touch the whisky to get more info. If you touch from the list it now goes to a small screen showing just that whisky, but then you have to fiddle around with rating icons at the bottom of the screen to bring up the expanded whisky info page. It also has an add banner at the top of that page as well. It used to be a sheer joy to use, but now it’s only average. Revert back Sox months and you have a winner..Version: 5.0.48
✓ Looks promising but crashesAfter a few attempts to get into the app it looks really promising. However im unable to get more than about 10 seconds into it before crashing. Would love to try again once stable..Version: 1.05
✓ BuggyGreat concept but buggy and laggy everywhere also not 100% convinced this fully native iOS app more of a web app wrapped in shiny plastic..Version: 1.0
✓ Humm...Too bad, seems very buggy so far.......Version: 1.0
✓ Beautiful and buggyGreat idea and difficult execution. Interactions with links in this app causes frequent crashing. If you stick on a single page everything is great...but that's not the point of the app now is it. This would be in constant use if it didn't keep freezing and crashing..Version: 1.0
✓ Excellent but could use some work.The amount of product at the disposal of the user is absolutely insane!! Keeping up with new products around the world must be a small headache, in itself. The work part. The overall app itself just seems heavy, clunky and a little slow in operation. Is there anyway of addressing that at all??.Version: 4.22.3125
✓ Costs extra to do everything.Can’t even track simple notes against fav whiskeys without paying their fee. Sure it’s only 10 bucks but when they hit you with a fee for even basic functionality what’s the point of even having the app as there really is no basic functionality to use without paying. And their payment process isn’t even integrated with iOS app Store so it takes you outside the app for the purchase. Meh.Version: 5.0.439
✓ Good app but constant crashesApp is a great tool for any collector, however the app constantly crashes whenever you have been using it for more than a few minutes..Version: 5.0.262
✓ Quite buggyThis release seems to have a lot of bugs. Very slow, can't hit some buttons at all. Got stuck once. Looks great though.Version: 1.0
✓ Limited InventoryWhat it has is great. But, it is missing a large number of whiskeys (Canadians, bourbons and scotches) There does not appear to be any mechanism for users to add any..Version: 1.05
✓ Was greatKeeps getting tweaked that now it is a pain to navigate through the lists. Really pushing you to purchase the pro, it’s not worth it based on this version. Content is also stale and the feed is not in chronological order..Version: 5.0.20
